"I'm So Glad My Heart Found You" Layout w/The Robin's Nest

Kathi here once again to share with you a double layout I created.
Gina's Designs has paired up with The Robin's Nest and this is my second
project using The Robin's Nest Paper line.

The
paper I used was "Dark Distress Red", and "Classic Roses", from the
Valentine Shape Set I used the lips & the fancy heart I added a
string along heart to the left side of the photo mat and used two of the
embellishment page by cutting out the fancy journaling spot. To the
left side of the layout I placed a tall valentines card that was given
to his wife. A few months after Feb 14 his life was cut short do to a
freak accident while on vacation. The sentiment said "I'm so glad my
heart found you" Love Cliff. I then framed the layout so she can hang it
on her wall.

This
is the second page of the layout. From the Robin's Nest I used the
paper "Valentine Hearts" & "Classic Roses". The tag is from the
embellishment page. From Gina's Store I used the Cupids from the "Cupid Shape Set".
Both were painted with white gesso then stamped with Fire Brick Red
Distress Ink using music notes. The love sign was also painted with
white gesso. I placed a red piece of paper behind the sign & placed
it on the tag. The three hearts were prepared using embossing ink &
Utee. The Utee is a mix of gold, silver, bronze & black. From the "Valentine Shape Set"The string along love is out of the "String Along - Hearts"
painted red then white/clear glitter was added. I placed a 4 X 6 photo
mat & a large wooden heat. The large heart was raised up using foam
dots in order to get a photo behind. The red heat is removable to use to
size the photo to slip behind the heart.
